Chapter Seventy-Eight: Prayers
When Qing Li walked out of Ling Rui's study, Uncle Liu was shocked and excited at the same time.
Seeing the empty plate on her tray, his expression moved, he stepped forward gratefully, bowed down and said, "The princess really has a way, the prince has eaten so much for the first time these days." β
The food sent before, the prince almost didn't move a few bites, he saw it in his eyes, he was anxious in his heart, but he didn't have a way.
Now it's okay, the princess only talked to the prince for a while, and the prince actually ate so much!
He has followed the prince since he was a child, and in addition to the friendship between the master and servant, the two also have the love of brothers. Although it is ridiculous for him to say that he is a brother to the prince, the prince really treats him well.
After gratefully snorting again, Uncle Liu said happily: "Thank you princess!" β
Qing Li didn't expect Uncle Liu to give her such a big gift, his status in the mansion is also extremely high, he can be regarded as half a master, even Ling Yichen treats him as an elder, where can she afford it?
But with the tray in her hand, she couldn't spare her hand, so she had to smile helplessly: "Uncle Liu has tormented me like this, if I continue to do this, I won't come tomorrow!" β
Although he said so, his words were full of jokes. She looked at the empty plate in her hand, and said, "Moreover, Uncle Liu is the wrong person, it is not me who let my father eat, it is the son of the world!" β
If it weren't for the fact that his father still remembered Ling Yichen in his heart, where could she persuade him in a few words? The power of blood kinship is sometimes really more effective than any panacea!
Nodding to Uncle Liu, Qing Li walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
Facing the breeze blowing in Xixi. She took a deep breath and felt refreshed.
At the corner, Tranquility stood aside. Seeing Qing Li come out, he stepped forward to take the tray in her hand.
"Didn't I let you go back?" Why is this girl so dead-eyed? She didn't know when it would take to come out, she just didn't want to wait for peace before calling her back, but she was really getting more and more disobedient!
An Ning stuck out her tongue mischievously and said with a smile: "I was going back, but when I think about it, Miss doesn't know the way very much, what if she goes the wrong way after coming out?" β
She hung her head and chuckled. "Miss is lazy, and she usually feels sore when she walks a few more steps, so she will suffer less for you. I'll have to wait here! β
said this as if she had been wronged, Qing Li couldn't cry or laugh, "You girl, it must be that I am usually too indulgent." I've learned to make fun of me! "Still. What she said is also true, she has really been lazy in the past two years.
An Ning smiled lightly, and out of nowhere, she took out a gilded post, handed it to her, and said, "Miss, the post that Ziya sent to you just now." β
She carefully held the post, it was just Ziya's routine duties, and she still guarded it like a baby.
Some hung their heads in embarrassment. If you look closely, you can find a faint flush on An Ning's fair little face.
Qing Li smiled secretly. Suddenly felt that this girl was more interested in Ziya than she was about her. Sure enough, the woman didn't stay!
I sighed helplessly in my heart. But Qing Li also knew that An Ning was thin-skinned and couldn't stand the ridicule, so he let her go.
Stretched out his hand to take the post, the bronzing was bright red, and the surface was wrapped in silk silk, showing luxury.
Even the post was so exaggerated, Qing Li had already vaguely guessed who it was. opened the post and looked at it, and sure enough, the word Duan Yufeng was written on the sign, and then looked at the content carefully, it was nothing more than hoping that she would go to Jiuhua Zhenwei Hall to get together and discuss important matters.
Duanxiu's font does not have Jing Xuan's arrogance and obedience, nor Ling Yichen's domineering awe, but there is no trace of edge, it is as quiet as a pool of stagnant water, and I can't see what the person who writes is in his mood.
She knew that Duan Yufeng had a black heart and everything was hidden under the appearance, but it turned out that the same was true of ligatures.
The corners of his lips are slightly hooked, and Qing Li's eyebrows and eyes are gradually curved.
It turned out that the fox couldn't wait......
"Prepare the carriage for me, I'm going to go out." Everyone is sincerely invited, so why not give her face? Maybe there will be a good harvest.
β¦β¦
The Duan family's Jiuhua True Taste Hall was also on the list of the last encirclement and suppression, and after such a big sweep, it was closed in recent days, claiming to be in full assembly.
However, although it is said on the outside, in fact, the inside has long been completely renovated. He is not in a hurry to open, but he just wants to carry out a major internal change.
Qing Li had to admit that Duan Yufeng has two brushes in business, and he is really a talent, and he will also be a good opponent.
The little servant was already waiting outside the door, and Qing Li was led by him to the private room on the second floor.
The all-wooden floor is simple and thick, and the space on the cloister is not large, but it is cleverly made into a loop, which is very layered. Potted bamboos or orchids will be placed at intervals, fresh and elegant.
On the other side, there is a beautiful scenery of the open air, because it is located in the suburbs, so the scenery is also extremely beautiful, and you can see the Wangxian River in the distance. If it is spring, you will be able to enjoy the scenery of "full of trees and delicate red, and ten thousand branches of Dancai scorching spring".
It's no wonder that so many celebrities like to come here for refreshments, and it turns out that they occupy such a good position.
was stopping to enjoy the scenery, and a lazy laughter suddenly came from the inside: "Mrs. Sister-in-law stood outside and didn't come in, but did she think Duan was not well entertained?" β
It was his usual hippie smiling tone, and Qing Li raised his eyebrows slightly and turned around with a light smile.
The rooms are equally finely furnished.
A huge landscape screen was placed in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, a pure white cashmere carpet was spread on the ground, and a small number of nanmu trees were placed in front of the screen, and Duan Yufeng was sitting cross-legged on the ground at this time, smiling and drinking tea.
He wore a lake-blue brocade robe today, his hair was tied with a jade crown, he was already handsome and extraordinary, and with a spring breeze smile on his face, it was enough to fluctuate the girl's heart, and it was difficult to be moved by it......
She looked up and down, and Duan Yufeng tilted her head when she heard the sound.
Seeing that Qing Li was still wearing a moon-white robe, he couldn't help but admire: "It's really strange, I didn't find out that you were a woman!" β
I really didn't find it, such a special charm temperament, I can't allow others to doubt her at all! He never imagined that Miss Qing, who had always been curious, would be such a character!
Qing Li is funny, she doesn't know if being a woman dressed as a man is not seen, whether being a woman is something to be proud of.
Walking to sit down opposite him, a faint fragrance of tea instantly came to her face, and in a crystal clear white jade cup in front of her, the bright yellow tea soup exuded a faint heat, which made her can't help but pick it up and sniff it lightly.
"Good tea." Without hesitation, "The maple leaf tea on Cuiyun Mountain can only maintain its unique flavor when it is picked with dew at the time of seed." β
Duan Yufeng was immediately happy when he heard this, "Mrs. Sister-in-law is really an elegant person!" "But few people can stand the taste of this tea, and few people understand the taste of this tea.
Qing Li smiled lightly, tasted it, and instantly a bitter taste swept through the taste buds, and it was not as elegant as it smelled.
She has always preferred bitter taste, so she also likes this maple leaf tea very much. It's a pity that the tree doesn't get much in a year, and it will be gone after drinking it.
Today, Duan Yufeng is so fond of it, it can be said that he has put a lot of effort.
She knew that Duan Yufeng invited her over this time to suppress the Lu family with the power of the Qing family.
I heard that he has suffered a lot of losses at Lu Yuansheng's hands recently, of course he has to find a way to get it back with interest!
However, looking at his casual appearance now, it is estimated that he is still playing a little ninety-nine! Anyway, she is not in a hurry, there is a beautiful scenery and good tea, and the person opposite her bento is not zΓ i!
Moreover, she also wanted to see how much power this fox could have.
A pot of tea has bottomed out, the sun is setting, and the yellow-orange light shines through the landscape screen, and even the majestic mountains have become majestic and magnificent.
The painting in the screen is the panorama of the mountains and rivers of Yufeng Pass, where it is cold all the year round, the mountains are continuous, and the mountains are stacked, especially when standing on a high place on a snowy day in winter, you can see the clouds and mist hidden between the mountainsides, the heaven and the earth are one color, pure and single, but always revealing the spectacular beauty.
Qing Li thought about it, and unconsciously got lost in the painting.
Seeing that she was intoxicated, Rao is Duan Yufeng was mentally prepared, and he couldn't help but sigh and support his forehead.
He laughed at himself, he was more patient with this woman, he was afraid that he would only lose. In this life, among all the people he has seen, only Qing Li has the ability to force him to be urgent!
"Mrs. Sister-in-law is so leisurely!" Saying this without being salty, he turned the empty white jade cup in his hand, and his heart was quite depressed.
What he wanted to talk about was who opened his mouth first and fell behind, but on the contrary, he still underestimated Qing Li's ability.
I finally couldn't help it! Qing Li smiled secretly in his heart, and replied politely, "Duan Gongzi specially invited me to drink tea, and I naturally have to be vassal, so as not to fall into the clichΓ©!" β
She intentionally or unintentionally aggravated the word drinking tea, and was also satisfied to see the corners of Duan Yufeng's mouth stiffen slightly.
At first, it sounded self-deprecating, but in Duan Yufeng's ears, it meant something else.
Just kidding, how could he be so bored to invite her to tea? The reason why I deliberately chose the day of Chen's departure was because I was afraid that someone would know about it and overturn the vinegar jar?
I haven't gotten to the point yet, but I just want to get more profits. Who knew that this iron rooster was actually a hair!
Duan Yufeng gritted his teeth angrily, and didn't plan to continue to go around the bend, so he changed to a more leisurely posture and sat down, a pair of narrow peach blossom eyes gradually narrowed, hooked his lips and smiled: "With the wisdom of Mrs. Sister-in-law, will you still not understand Duan's intentions today?" β
Slender fingers tapped on the tabletop, rhythmically one at a time, and very clear in the quiet inner room.
Qing Li raised his eyes to meet the pair of narrow and full of fine eyes, opened his lips and smiled: "Duan Gongzi might as well be happy, we Ming people don't say dark words, Qing Li's patience is actually not as good as Duan Gongzi thought......"
If there seems to be no floating to the empty teacup, she still has some unfinished business.
Now that the tea is finished, there is nothing to attract her interest, if he is smart enough, it is better to solve it quickly! (To be continued......)
